Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch Medical Issues

Women using this birth control patch find it to be very convenient. What they thought was that this patch was very similar to taking a birth control pill as far as the hormone excretion levels. This is not the case. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned users that they are being exposed to much higher levels of hormones with the patch than with other forms of birth control. Hence, these women are at a higher risk of suffering a blood clot or other serious injuries. The Ortho Evra box has a warning label that states a consumer of the product will be exposed to about 60% more estrogen then what is found in typical birth control pills.

These young women that use the patch are suffering from illness such as breathing problems even after two years of using the patch. The hormones from the patch actually enter the bloodstream directly as opposed to going through the digestive system first as you find with birth control pills that are swallowed. The bottom line is that there have been many cases where women in their teens and early 20's have suffered serious side effects, including death.
